Apple sells their 100 millionth iPod

[kraxleRIDAH]

Simple proof that Apple's iPod has, is, and always will be taking the biggest slice of cake out of the marketshare for consumer portable audio devices.

 

Earlier this week on Monday - April 7, Apple announced that they have sold their 100 millionth iPod unit (100,000,000 --- count those zeros!), making the iPod the best and fastest selling portable music player in history. That's 100 million iPods sold since it was first introduced in 2001.

Question to you guys is...do any of you currently own an iPod or have EVER owned an iPod -- and in some cases, multiple iPods?

An iPod family portrait. The sluttiest portable music players on the town. All other MP3 devices: flushed with envy.

Guilty! I own... 5! Three Shuffles, 1 Video, and 1 Nano. Don't ask; I can't help the obsession! I even buy them for friends and family.

I'm your friend, right?

I have a Nano and I LOVE it. I would have never guessed that I would use it as much as I do. Since I got my FM transmitter for Christmas last year, that pretty much guarantees that I'll use my iPod every day! It's a fantastic device. I'm not a Mac fan, but I've gotta give them kudos for the iPod.

I have a SanDisk Sansa m240, and I've also had a Shuffle and nano, and if I had to pick, I would pick the Sansa. Just overall better.

 

I plan on getting a video eventually, I'm just cautious of them releasing a much better one as soon as I buy mine.

[zaneymon]

I have a nano. But have brought 2 shuffles (one for my mum as her birthday present this year{Shhhhhh}) and one for my mate Reagan for his birthday

iCouldn't care less.

 

The screen is very small. This thing is definitely overpriced and in a fact it can only play music, display photos and video clips. This is what my mobile phone is capable to do plus it can make phone calls and pictures. I know about iPhone but this thing is even more expensive.

I have a 30 Gig Video and I love it. I have used it everyday since I got it late last year.

[verticalzero]

I have a 30GB Video as well, I use it in my car everyday and can choose over 5,000 songs.

[stingrock23]

I've got a 30GB Video and a shuffle I use for working out.

 

Best. Invention. Ever.

[KrakenKing]

20 gig 4th gen and a 60 gig 5th gen

 

and my mom owns a 2gig Nano

[thrillrideseeker]

I am guilty too! I have an 4GB Nano, and a 30GB Video and I love them both!

[holyblakbelt]

I have a 30 gig video. I accidentially dropped it so now the screen lags (screen lags as in you can's change the volume or search through the menus). But you can still see movies though.

[jackskellington101]

A 60 gig gen 4. It suits just wonderfully, is all scratched up and that's just fine by me.

[Wes]

10 GB 1st Generation (moving scroll wheel and actual firewire port WHAT)

30 GB iPod Photo

512 MB 1G Shuffle

1 GB 2G Shuffle (blue)

[DerekRx]

I don't have, nor will I conform to an iPod. At least not until the craze has ended. Though my next computer will most likely be a MacBook.

[map2]

I have a 20gig 4th Generation and a 80gig Video

What did the 100 Millionth buyer get? A free download off of iTunes?

[thrillrideseeker]

What did the 100 Millionth buyer get? A free download off of iTunes?

 

Why would a person need a free download from iTunes? I have bought all my songs from iTunes and they are all only $0.99 never more never less.

I said the same thing myself untill I got to play around with one. I was sold after about 5 min.

[coastercrazed49]

Let me count all the Ipods I have. Lets see 1..2..3..4..5 I have exactly no Ipods at all, I must be the luckiest kid in the world!

[dragoncoaster1292]

I am in love with my Product(Red) Nano. I use it way too much !

[WillMontu]

I've never had an iPod. I still have my old Nomad Zen 2.0 (circa 2002), upgraded to a 60gb hard drive. I haven't figured out what all the hype is about

consumerism hasnt got the better of you then, eh? I think thats the correct term...

 

 

i considered buying one, but the Nano's were over the top in price. I bought a Zen 8gig Microphoto instead for the same price...

[bigjohnson51]

I take my iPod everywhere with me. I got an iTrip so I don't have to carry around CD's anymore. I must say it's pretty nice to have.
